My wife's reaction to a new knife...

[woof]

The postie stopped me in the street & gave me a parcel, courtesy of jimmypie on BB, I opend it and was confronted with the biggest knife I've ever seen(rat rtak 11).

My wife saw it & said " what on earth are you going to do with that ?"

I replied while giggling like a naughty school boy, " I don't know, but I like it !"

She says, " so, you've swopped an axe you don't want, for a knife you don't know what to do with ?, men...."

HE-he, that made me giggle by proxy. Also made me think of #87 on Skippy's List - 87. If the thought of something makes me giggle for longer than 15 seconds, I am to assume that I am not allowed to do it.

I think there has to be pictures though, I'm intrigued.

Ha ha ha sounds similar to my wife's reaction "another knife? What do you lot do in the woods with all these knives"😉😄

I get a similar reaction when it comes to both axes and knives. I normally get the "You've only got two hands." comment as well.

My stock reply is usualy, "well if I played golf I'd have more than one stick in my bag, so whats the difference ?".

Oh & I've found that calling golf clubs "sticks" seems to upset golfers...

I'd post a photo of the said knife, but the wizardyjiggerypokeryalchemy of posting photo's is way beyond me.

Dude!.....you can't say "the biggest knife i'v ever seen"......then go on to tell us don't know how to post pics, that's just evil is that

My mrs don't even comment any more. with The amount of stuff I get delivered she's pretty much completely de-sensitized to it lol

Herself really does care how many knives, axes, or packs I acquire, just so long as I fetch her in a duplicate. She doesn't use any of them of course, or carry them; no reason to so long as I have mine along. When I don't purchase her a duplicate something I've gotten, I find that spending twice the price on something for her charms her nicely, at least in the short term.

I think I have more knives than he does.

Me too
I do get comments along the lines of, "D'you not think the knifeage is getting a wee touch out of hand ??", and "We're praying there's still a Police amnesty when you croak it Mum"

Size though, only the parang and the machete would really count as big knives among my tools.

Cracking knives the RTAK II's. Whilst massive they are well balanced and a joy to use. The steel takes and holds a really sharp edge too.
